International airlines have suspended their operation till 31/05/2020.
Parliament/Government can advice authority to extend visa for another 3 months.
Government has the authority to change the rules or introduce new laws similarly to Coronavirus Act 2020 due to current situation. This can be discussed in Parliament if the Government does not think the importance and then Parliament can make a consensus decision to allow temporary residents to stay lawfully by providing automatic extension for another 3 months until. This will enable temporary residents and their country of origins to prepare plans for their departure with limited flights.
